Gina & Colin - Longleaf Vineyards Wedding Preview - Asheville NC Photographer

Are you guys starting to see the light at the end of the pandemic tunnel? Some days I feel like we’re making such progress and some days I wonder if we’re going to feel these effects for the next several years. As small business owners, it’s certainly overwhelming and stressful to think through all of the logistics of keeping our business going with so many unprecedented factors being thrown our way. Mixed into the stressful moments of the last 2 months or so, we’ve had several really good days that were full of joy and happiness.

May 21, 2020 was quite possibly the best day that Will and I have had since the stay at home orders first began. It was the day that we captured one of the most adorable couples in the entire world as they said “I Do” on the top of a mountain with their parents and furbabies. And it was magical. Literally everything we could have dreamed of. Granted, covid-19 did cause Gina and Colin to change their plans slightly and the forecasted inches of rain kept us all a bit stressed in the days leading up to the wedding. But as Gina and Colin stood under the altar at Longleaf Vineyards below a blue sky with their precious Gracie and Roxanne by their sides, nothing else in the world seemed to matter but the love that these two share. It was a dream come true for me. Most of you know that Will and I love the mountains. We love hiking, sweeping views, wildlife, and nature. The Asheville area has it all. We’ve always had an Asheville wedding at the top of our wedding bucket-list and this one simply set the bar really high. It was perfect in every way. Gina and Colin are both insanely photogenic so our job was easy. But even better, they are really likeable people… the type of people that make you feel like you’re old friends. It was such an intimate experience, but Gina and Colin really made us feel as if we belonged and it all felt so natural. If I could shoot their wedding over and over every day for the rest of my life, there is literally nothing I would change. It was so much fun. I hope you will enjoy these sneak peek photos as Will edits away at their wedding day film!
